The avatar, created to deter young people from extremism, has been subverted and is breaking out of niche online silos
Her name is Amelia, a purple-haired “goth girl” who proudly carries a mini union flag and appears to have a penchant for racism.
If you are unfamiliar with Amelia, the chances are you will soon encounter one viral meme or another inspired by her on Facebook or X, where her reputation is growing.
Videos of Amelia typically feature her walking through London, or the House of Commons, declaring her love for England and warning of the dangers of “militant Muslims” or “third-world migrants”. In one clip she is harangued by bearded man in Islamic attire for eating a pork sausage.
The problem is that the algorithms optimize for this kind of content. The people seeing this LLM avatar wouldn’t start seeing the “good” LLM avatars. Instead, content in the “good” spaces will become watered down with low quality/ rage-bait-y slop
It depends on how you present it. It doesn’t have to be „boring good“. And even then you can still work e.g. on the comment area (reactive, not original content).
